this guy does everything right. especially defensively. he’s so damn smart, hustles, knows the spots/always in the right spots, just things that are innate. simply makes timely and winning plays. i have 0 complaints about the bald eagle. love him, don’t ever lose him and THT please Lakers if you’re reading this. if this guy ever develops a consistent 3 pt shot.... gigi hadid.
As of right now... Caruso is the #1 three point shooter in the NBA... You read that right... and I’ll repeat for those in the back... Alex Caruso is #1 in three point shooting in the NBA right now with more than 20% of the season complete.
Love this!!! No more of that Josh Hart s***. It was funny to a point, but a bad sign of team disconnection after a while. AC showing the leadership making sure no one is left hanging.
I wish he was a starter for sure. I don’t know how much evidence we need to see of the results of him and LeBron together on the floor, I don’t know when team politics stops coming into play, but he fits better with the starters. It is what it is, as they say.
LeBron trusts him with the ball the way he trusted Rondo. Caruso doesn't need the ball to make an impact out there and his high basketball IQ allows him to understand what LeBron wants so he doesn't get in his way. Vogel needs to man up and tell Schroder to get to the bench. Schroder has been doing poorly lately because he plays a quick pace while LeBron would much rather slow it down. Every time Caruso is out there, good things happen. He's the gift that keeps on giving.
As long as we keep winning, Vogel might just stick with this group. Hope it doesn't take an ugly 3 game losing streak to make the necessary switch
I think when the playoffs roll around, with AD playing more center, we'll see more Caruso starts. Just like we did in the most important game in the finals last season. For smaller matchups they can take Gasol out and go AD, LBJ, KCP, Caruso and Schröder or even THT in there for Schröder in some match ups with 3 point-heavy teams like the Clips. That's a shut-down-the-3 squad there.
We’ve got AC in our pocket when we need him and he doesn’t care if he starts or not, so I’d rather they keep trying to get Schroeder going. AC will start if Vogel thinks the starters need him, but right now, even with Schroeder and Gasol sucking, we have the top starting unit in the league. As long as AC is usually there to finish close games, and gets a lot of minutes, I’m fine with him not starting yet.
ya'll see AC just yank it out of sexton's hands on that drive down the stretch? boss. sexton: you've been audited.
WTF is this first possession by Sexton? He dribbles, stops, fakes. Dribbles some more, takes a shot. Why dribble at all? Just pretend it's rugby and run with the ball.
Pretty obvious Caruso needs to play more but him and KCP aren't big enough to guard the 3/4 types like Harris. Good things just happen everywhere with him and he's able to create space as well Same thing happened lasted year against the Magic and Sixers. Big athletic tweeners like Harris and Gordon cause Lakers problems particularly when you can't put Lebron on them. That being said if Vogel let him play in the third I doubt we get in the big hole to begin with
